The American Legion has issued a 100 Miles for Hope campaign which is a way for American Legion Family members to raise donations for the Veterans and Children Foundation, as well as encouraging members to stay active in this time of social distancing.
Although the campaign officially kicked off August 3 participants have until Veteran’s Day to run, walk, or ride a bike or their motorcycle for 100 miles. That time-frame means being active for just a mile a day, roughly 20 to 30 minutes for walkers.
